Why don't you wear your seatbelt ALL the time? Its such an easy way to protect yourself!
No car makes you invincible, if anything, the Evo makes it worse b/c it has so much power yet its crash ratings are so horrendous.
No doubt, I have no valid argument for not wearing it.
Did Mitsu just squeak the evo by on crash testing to get it into the states then?

Yup, thats why for 2007 we got a '06 IX SE model instead of a '07 IX like the rest of the world. The '06 IX wouldn't meet 2007 crash standards w/o side curtain airbags so they had to keep it labeled as a MY06.

A mod on evom posted this as to why it was removed
I removed it. That thread was in complete poor taste. The gruesome details and the pictures posted without the families permission was not something I am going to tolerate.
Again, like I said, noone needs to see that. Gerald was a good guy... just made a bad decision that cost him his life.

That thread served as a great reminder to people to be careful and always buckle-up. Those pictures were public photos and should have remained posted since they are not the property of the family or EvoM. Once again, the EvoM mods have stepped way past their bounds.

You'd get that on most forums though.
And yeah, I, too, feel naked without it on. It's kinda like that feeling when my cell phone and wallet aren't in my pocket. Just too weird to ignore.
Omg wow.... I dont even know what to say about that bad of a crash. I'm glad I wear my seat belts, I think I would take lost limbs versus lost life. But it sounds like a hell of a crash if his iPod made it to the back rim.

I'm proof that seat belts save lives. If anyone needs a refresher we can take a trip to my brother's grave and I'll show you the scar on my head.
